[Dominic Szablewski] was tinkering around with compressing RGB images, when he stumbled upon idea of how to make a simple lossless compression algorithm, resulting in the Quite OK Image Format, which ...

Google has released a new data compression algorithm it hopes will make the Internet faster for everyone. Dubbed Zopfli, the open-source algorithm will accelerate data transfer speeds and reduce Web ...

A new study in Multimedia Tools and Applications presents two hybrid image compression schemes, HLL1 and HLL2, that combine ...

Facebook is open sourcing a new compression algorithm called Zstandard that aims to replace the common technology behind the Zip file format. The most common algorithm behind the Zip file format is ...

AI success depends on whether enterprise data is ready, reachable, and close enough to the workloads that need it. In this eSpeaks episode, Dell Technologies’ Vrashank Jain explains why fragmented ...

Today, Facebook is releasing its Zstandard compression algorithm into the wild as open source. The lossless compression technology is aimed at replacing existing libraries like zlib that are powered ...

Google is introducing a new compression algorithm named Brotli, which it says can reduce file sizes up to 26 percent over existing solutions. The increased density is achieved by “a 2nd order context ...

Entropy, a measure of the molecular disorder or randomness of a system, is critical to understanding a system's physical composition. In complex physical systems, the interaction of internal elements ...

The goal of digital compression algorithms is to produce a digital representation of an audio signal which, when decoded and reproduced, sounds the same as the original signal, while using a minimum ...
